In mid-April, you are greeted by a wonderful scent that comes from the flowering bushes beside the path - perhaps laurel? The fresh breeze mixes with the intense aroma that gives nature something very special. The bridge itself is surrounded by a quiet forest, which makes the crossing seem like a small oasis of relaxation. A brief moment that invites you to take a deep breath before heading back out onto the road.

In this enchantingly beautiful forest with bridges and remains of walls, scenes for Game of Thrones were filmed and we also find light trees, forklifts and signposts to Scene 1 to 3 in the middle of the forest for various shots. We even meet Game of Thrones fans in costumes on a bridge - or were we unnoticed extras in a film?
